Food and food chain
Snow leopards are carnivores which means they eat meat. Since snow leopards live in such a cold environment they eat animals like sheep but they can also take down animals 3 or 4 times there size. Snow leopards may not be the biggest but they are high on the food chain. In there areas they are the head of it
Habitat and Adaptations
The snow leopard lives in the mountain ranges in Asia. They live in dens to keep the cold mountain snow .Science the ranges are so cold they made certain adaptations such as thick fur to keep warm. Large paws that help act like snow shoes. Fur also helps camouflage while hunting. This is very useful while ambushing prey
Description
For those of you that have never seen a snow leopard this is what it is like. A snow leopard is a yellowish white color with black spots. It is not as big as a lion but can weigh in at 60 to 100 pounds with the occasional 170 pound male. these animals range about 75 to 130 centimeters, and the tail adds 80 to 100 centimeter.
why they need you (reasons for endangerment)
Snow leopards numbers are dropping mainly because of what they eat. They eat domesticated sheep so farmers kill them to save there live stock. They are also running out of space. But worst of all are the poachers. Snow leopards are very pretty and that is a problem. People want there furs.
